Stay on target

Text-based games are fun, entertaining, and let you tap into your creative side. They closely resemble novels, in fact, but you decide the fate of the characters involved — which makes them a productive way to spend an afternoon.

There are, of course, several producers of quality gaming content, but Choice of Games is considered to be one of the best. Each title in their library is a completely interactive story, authored by professional writers, that consist of several chapters and hundreds of thousands of words. You can play for as little or as long as you want, leave it, and then pick up where you left off next time.
